As someone who's never seen a single episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime, you may wonder why I felt compelled to draw Tori Meadows from that particular show. Well, I was a big fan of the Yu-Gi-Oh and Yu-Gi-Oh GX animes. I watched some of the card games on motorcycles, too, and it wasn't as bad as people make it out to be, especially the original Japanese version.

So it would make sense that I was interested in checking out the Yu-Gi-Oh Wikia when looking up info about a particular card. Featured on the front page was Tori Meadows from the then brand-new ZEXAL series. This was around the time that I was drawing any character at all that piqued my interest. Really, these sorts of drawings were only practice. But this one came out pretty well, so I went ahead and colored it in and everything.

I think what compelled me to draw Tori was the unusual hairstyle and honestly her color scheme of green hair and pink and white clothing. There wasn't really any other reason other than that she was practice for drawing my own characters. But it was an enjoyable piece to draw and share.

One of my all-time favorite Pokemon, Misdreavus is also one of the easier Pokemon to draw well. I have a long history of Misdreavus being on my Pokemon teams from way back in Gold and Silver. Her much more recent evolved form, Mismagius, is also a big part of my Pokemon history - but I don't have a drawing of her to share with ya'll just yet.

I think I've always been such a fan of Misdreavus because although she's tiny, she packs quite a punch!

I love Pokemon. It's too bad I haven't been able to keep up with the newer games since Omega Ruby came out. Sun and Moon look awesome. One of the Pokemon that's featured as one of the Alolan alternate forms is Meowth. I can't wait to one day raise an Alolan Meowth, but for now, I guess I can enjoy this drawing I made of Meowth back in early 2014.

While it's not one of my favorite art pieces, it's one that a lot of people have liked from me. I always really enjoyed the character of Meowth in Team Rocket from the Pokemon anime. So he's definitely one of my favorite Pokemon... and he's a talking cat, so... yeah.

For whatever reason, around the end of 2013, I became very interested in drawing Blaze the Cat from the Sonic the Hedgehog Universe.

I mean, it's not hard to like Princess Blaze's character design. There are some parallels between the designs of Luna Starlight and Blaze, although Blaze wasn't the inspiration for Luna's purple hair or really anything about her.

In fact, I think I was inspired the other way around. Like, oh hey, this is an awesome character that could be best buddies with Luna and the other Felona...

Anyway...

I drew two pretty good pictures of Blaze the Cat. There were others, but over time they've become lost to me... they weren't very good and probably got tossed.

As much as I liked my first pic, I actually like my second portrait even better. I think it's the smile.

In any case, I just like to draw Blaze, among other characters. Do you have a character that you just like to draw?
